Great idea for a thread, Jeff! When it comes to football, the AFL is my favorite. I just picked this up. I hope it shows up this weekend. It is a 1965 Chargers AFL West champs team ball with 34 signatures.

I like this item from the first AFL - the Grange league in 1926. It's a reminder of how the various AFLs really struggled for a share of the market against the NFL for half a century. Here are the two best teams of the first AFL sharing a double bill with a high-school game on Thanksgiving in New York City

This is in my collection. It is Sid Gillman's team-signed game ball from the 1963 AFL Championship Game.

Wow, wow, wow! I wondered if any 63 championship balls were out there. Someday one of my main goals is to have one, along with other such items from that seaaon. I really like your display case items as well, particularly the We Love Lance Alworth sticker and the program. Just terrific stuff, Todd!

Here is a proof ticket from the 1963 AFL championship game, a super-rare candy try produced by Coca-Cola, showing the '63 team, and Sid Gillman's 63 championship tie clip and bracelet.
